Overall Meaning

The lyrics to NCT U's song "Universe" express a deep connection between two people who see the world as their playground. The repeated refrain of "let's play ball" serves as a metaphor for the fun and games they can have together, with the two of them being each other's entire universe. The verses expand on this idea, with lines like "My game, that's just fate talking" and "Nothing's gonna stop us now" conveying a sense of destiny and invincibility between the two of them. They encourage the listener to join them in their revelry, insisting that they're capable of anything as long as they're together.


The lyrics also feature a lot of space-themed imagery, with lines like "My destiny, my ace" and "My star, my victory" creating a sense of grandiose importance in their relationship. The chorus proclaims that "You're my world, my universe" and that this person is capable of anything, implying that their bond has the power to shape the cosmos itself. The lyrics thus convey a sense of carefree joy and empowerment, encouraging the listener to embrace their own universe and make it a playground of their own.

Me randomly spouting out "let's play ball! let's play ball!" in the living room and my roommate joining in with "yo, you're my universe" when she isn't even a fan of NCT is just the highlight of my life as a NCTzen. I am gonna have everyone around me get hip to NCT
